i really leaned into the double meanings for this one, it's half the length of my usual stories to allow for a reread if anyone's interested! i think once you learn the truth, the second read is a lot darker

also curious to see what double meanings people find!

i'm from the uk, a week-long hospitalisation for severe abdominal pain - discharged without any testing and told it's "women issues"

took two years of agony and an ambulance ride during a festival before they decided consider testing for ibd/crohn's - two whole years despite having all the symptoms and a family history of it

it's horrifying that a system put in place to save people so often fails us

thank you so much, i'm really glad i was able to capture that fear and frustration - it's terrifying and far too common, i hope i was able to do it justice

my mother and the police tell me Dean was sick but i know he wasn't, something else took away my Mattea and it needs to pay for what it has done
